I am not sure where is this message logged, but definitely not in yum.log, as I
didn't find it there later on when I looked up again. I also don't know where
those kernel warnings were logged, if at all... :-)
But anyway, there is no need to attach yourself to that bugzilla, just read it
to understand what is happening. There is a particular link to the
codemonkeys.org website with more clearer explanation. In a nutshell, it's
just deltarpm and kernel rpm confusing each other about how big the
initramfs.img file should be. And it just so happens that those firmware modules
happen to reside in that file, so during the kernel installation you get the
warning that they might get missing. But this never happens, because the
kernel has those modules already, and just needs to recreate the initramfs,
which happens automatically.
So nothing to worry about. ;-)
Best, :-)
